A number of winter storms affected western Colorado during the month with significant snowfall occurring in the mountains and some of the high valleys. It was too early in the snow season for high elevation SNOTEL stations to give meaningful departure from normal snow water equivalent statistics. Considering the early phase of the snow season, no significant changes were noted in the drought situation across western Colorado. Northwest and extreme west central Colorado continued to be classified in the abnormally dry to moderate drought categories while water supply concerns remained elsewhere. For a continuation on the drought situation please see the December 2005 Storm Data publication.
